It's the difference between character development and character derailment. If it was written well, we'd have seen bread crumbs over the years implying there's more to Geese than just being a power hungry tyrant. There'd be little implications that circumstances warped a good man into adopting a "might makes right" mentality. But no, instead we just get a Russo swerve at the eleventh hour, like a soap opera gunning for ratings with a cheap plot twist. And it's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ways this game has shit the bed for longtime Garou fans.

I find the writing on most of those stories pretty terrible.
I agree. It feels like a slap in the face to the longtime fans that waited so many years for closure to this story. Without exaggeration, you could probably find fanfiction that treats the source material with more respect.

How are you so good at this? Without hyperbole I think that Leona set is the most spot on recreation I've ever seen of Capcom's sprite work for the SNK characters. I'm floored at how good that idle stance and run animation are.

Alternatively they could have also created new original characters loosely based on their likenesses, as they did so many times before, like with Raiden being based on Vader.
That DJ fighting style will be only in this game, then it is gone. All the work for the moves, the animations, all of it gone in the next game.
If MBS still has ownership by the time the next game comes out, there's probably a chance he sticks around.

Is it fair to say that SNK has completely jumped the shark? If using the long awaited sequel to one of their most beloved games of all time as a platform to flaunt Saudi celebrity connections doesn't qualify, I'm not sure what does.
Hell, peeps are boycotting and cancelling pre-orders and shit over this, but that's a bit of an overreaction and I'm still hyped for it, but I understand since it's gonna have to live and die by the goofy celebrity guests.
Nah, I absolutely understand where they are coming from. Almost 30 years of waiting just for the iconic and beloved Fatal Fury IP to be reduced to nothing more than a vanity venue for one nauseatingly rich dickhead is foul. If it was just CR7 it would still kind of suck, but whatever, he is one of the most famous people alive, especially to the Latin American audience that makes up a lot of SNK's own fandom. But now we're at the point where anyone with the loosest of ties to Prince MBS are getting full development resources and time towards becoming a full fledged character in what's supposed to be the grand finale of their flagship franchise 25 years in the making.

I know many moons ago there was a CvS-esque Alex sprite set in the vein of what Capcom did for Chun-Li and Yun, reshaded scaled down and with the framerate cut to fit in with the rest of the characters. I do not remember who created them, but I know that Infinite's very first Alex edit used them, and I believe Jesuszilla's CvS2 Alex might have as well. Maybe they would suit your purposes?

in How do you solve the Corner Problem in Fighting Games? (Started by JasonThePhoenix December 01, 2024, 08:04:32 pm
Board: M.U.G.E.N Discussion
You don't need to do anything too drastic to your backdashes, because they are already usually risky in the corner just by virtue of having less distance between the opponent.
An invincible backdash is a strong defensive tool only when the invincibility goes through all the active frames of the opponent's attack, and the opponent is not able to punish the recovery frames.
I'll try to give a generic example. Character A knocks down Character B in the corner. Character A does a meaty, Character B backdashes. What happens next depends on the active frames of the move used as a meaty and the invincibility frames on the backdash.
-If the backdash stops being invincible before the meaty stops being active, Character B gets hit.
-If the backdash is invincible for long enough to protect Character B from the meaty, they probably get some sort of punish.
-If the meaty recovers quickly enough for Character A to punish the backdash, Character B gets hit.
Just a few examples.
This is how developers create nuanced character design by accounting for unique options across characters. A character with very strong neutral and offense might have a backdash with only brief invincibility to compensate. A character with no reversal attacks or a grappler who capitalizes on heavy reads might have a particularly invincible backdash. A character who is defined by slippery movement might have a backdash with weak invincibility but very fast startup or recovery or long distance so that they can move around the screen more quickly.
A good point of reference would be the Guilty Gear series where backdash frame data is a key part of character design and what defines a specific character's strengths and weaknesses, as well as what setups work on them.

I heard another reason Auto A.I. is generally a thing some creators do, because of AI tournaments. I heard a large chunk of Japanese creators take AI tournaments very seriously, and I can only assume tournament participating characters have Auto A.I. solely on to make sure they don't sandbag and lose the tournament. I assume those creators simply choose to take the Auto route instead of more complicated simultaneous Hard A.I. and human player systems.
Yeah, this is correct.
AI tournaments are very popular with the Japanese community. As I said earlier, some creators have config files that let you adjust the AI level, toggle AI only/human control and similar settings. If you're familiar with Holn, his AI patches go the extra mile of letting you set frequencies for specific mechanics that a character might have. For example, some of his Versus Series patches will perform touch of death or infinite combos if enabled.
If you download an AI patch and find it isn't to your liking for whatever reason, I suggest checking if there are any option or config files, you might be able to tweak it a little bit.

A lot of Japanese AI patches are made with watch mode in mind, not player use. Some of them let you toggle it off in the config file but it's not a standard or anything.

I don't see how, the spirit of VF is in how it looks and plays, a story mode wouldn't dilute that especially not with RGG Studio at the helm. I don't see a world where a new fighting game project launches for full price in 2025 without some kind of substantial single player modes. After World Tour's success it's basically non negotiable.

in How do you solve the Corner Problem in Fighting Games? (Started by JasonThePhoenix December 01, 2024, 08:04:32 pm
Board: M.U.G.E.N Discussion
Generally this problem is solved by the corner being a very dangerous place to be, because it opens up longer and more damaging combos or more threatening mixups because they can't backdash away from the attack. Usually midscreen combos are shorter and less advantageous on knockdown, and midscreen mixups have more counterplay because there's more screen space to use.
Another thing to consider is that being at close range means the offending player has access to their fastest, safest and cancelable normals for more reward on hit or block. They don't have to play the neutral game anymore. In fighting games where running away is a powerful strategy it's usually not so that a player can get their back to the wall in the corner, but so that they have sufficient space to be safe from their opponent and be in range to use their pokes.
